Plumb + Level, Two Axes at Once
Wraps a post, pipe, or pole. Reads plumb on two perpendicular axes simultaneously so the buyer sets one tool instead of two.
Elastic Strap for Non-Steel Surfaces
Elastic strap holds the level on wood, vinyl, or composite posts where the magnets have nothing to pull against.

A closer look

Wraps a post, pipe, or pole. Reads plumb on two perpendicular axes at once so a single tool sets both faces of the post.

Strip magnets lock onto steel posts and pull flat to the surface. Both hands stay on the work while the level holds itself in place.

Both vials read at the same time. Set the face of the post and the side of the post in one wrap; rotate the level to check the third axis.

Elastic strap holds the level on wood, vinyl, or composite posts where the magnets have nothing to pull against. Fence work, deck posts, water pipes.

Hands stay on the work while the level holds itself in place. Plumb both faces of the post without setting the tool down.

PL001M as it ships at retail. Composite body shrugs off the corner drop.
